In this episode, we talk about how God is at work in our lives even when sorrow feels overwhelming. This Jubilee year of hope is still a light for us, especially when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to despair. We talk about the “fatigue of living”, what happens when we isolate ourselves, and why the micromovements of our hearts are so important. God has not guaranteed us an easy life, but He abundantly offers us Himself. With Him, we can encounter Jesus deeply, allow the Spirit to help us overcome our fears, and journey through this life with more hope than we thought possible.   Heather's One Thing - Join me on a pilgrimage to Denmark & Norway | August 3 - 12, 2026   Sister Miriam's One Thing - Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us by Father Wilfrid Stinissen Michelle's One Thing - I Will Come to You: A Story of Adoption and the Relentless Love of God by Jamie McAleer   Other Resources Mentioned:  Pope Leo XIV's Homily for Pentecost   Journal Questions: When did I last pour my heart out to the Lord? How have I been tempted to isolate myself? What distractions do I turn to in suffering? What heartbreaks have I been holding back from the Lord in prayer? Where am I feeling afraid?   Discussion Questions: Where in your life are you struggling to see the Lord? How has the Lord given you daily bread today? What lessons have you learned throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope? Where in your life are you waiting for a personal Pentecost? What resonated with you in Sister Miriam's prayer?   Quote to Ponder: “The Holy Spirit bestows understanding. The Spirit overcomes the ‘breach' that began in Babel, the confusion of mind and heart that sets us one against the other. The Spirit opens borders... The Church must always become anew what she already is. She must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. In her, there cannot be those who are neglected or disdained. In the Church there are only free men and women, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.” (Homily for Pentecost, 15 May 2005, Pope Benedict XVI)   Scripture for Lectio: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” (Mark 5:34)   Sponsor - The Ember Collective: “Holistic wellness in light of eternity.” The Ember Collective is a community of women passionate about holistic wellness through the lens of our Catholic faith.

Do thoughts like “I'm not ready,” “I'm not qualified,” or “What if I fail?” keep you stuck in fear and doubt?   In today's episode, we're tackling the real reason so many women delay stepping into their calling—fear.

To connect with others, you have to get out of your own head.Whether presenting to millions on live television or talking to just one person, Dan Harris knows that the quality of every interaction depends on the presence you bring to it.Harris is a former national news anchor for ABC News and is now the host of the 10% Happier podcast and author of 10% Happier and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. As he knows from experience, there's power in “Waking up to something fundamental, that the mind is out of control, and you don't want to be owned by it.” How do we break the pattern of being controlled by our thoughts? Mindfulness and self-awareness, he says, put “distance” between us and our “thoughts and urges and emotions,” enabling us to connect with ourselves and others with greater consciousness and clarity.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Harris and host Matt Abrahams discuss how mindfulness can transform our communication, sharing strategies for deeper listening, responding versus reacting, and reflecting what others say back to them. “Relationships are the most important aspect of your happiness,” Harris says. The quality of those connections goes up when “you're “less stuck in your own head.”Episode Reference Links:Dan HarrisDan's Books: 10% Happier / Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics Ep.179 Finding Positive in Negative Emotions: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.180 Unlocking Your Future Self: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.182 Stop Chasing Time and Start Owning It: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:51) - On-Air Panic Attack (02:59) - Managing Communication Anxiety (04:01) - Nervousness Before Live Audiences (05:48) - Meditation Misconceptions (09:36) - Responding vs. Reacting (12:07) - Mindfulness & Productivity (15:11) - Lessons from Interviewing (17:19) - The Final Three Question (25:14) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

"이번엔 꼭 발표를 잘해야 해."En: Minjun was looking out the window, thinking, "This time, I have to do well on my presentation."Ko: 수족관 안에는 큰 거북이가 있다고 했습니다.En: It was said that there was a big turtle inside the aquarium.Ko: 민준은 그 거북이에 대해 발표할 계획이었습니다.En: Minjun planned to present about that turtle.Ko: 하지만 사람들 앞에서 말하는 게 항상 어렵게 느껴졌어요.En: However, speaking in front of others always felt challenging for him.Ko: 수진은 민준의 곁에 앉아 있었습니다.En: Sujin was sitting next to Minjun.Ko: "민준아, 발표 준비 잘 돼가?"En: "Hey Minjun, is your presentation preparation going well?"Ko: 수진은 늘 적극적이었지만, 사실은 물고기를 무서워했습니다.En: Sujin was always proactive, but in reality, she was afraid of fish.Ko: 수족관에 도착하자, 다은이 주변을 둘러보며 밝게 웃었습니다.En: When they arrived at the aquarium, Daeun looked around and smiled brightly.Ko: 다은은 새로운 학생이었지만 바다 생물을 아주 좋아했습니다.En: Although she was a new student, she really liked marine life.Ko: 민준과 수진도 다은과 함께 다니기로 했어요.En: Minjun and Sujin decided to go along with Daeun.Ko: 안으로 들어가니, 커다란 수조들이 반짝였습니다.En: Inside, the large tanks were sparkling.Ko: 물고기들이 산호 주위를 맴돌고 있었어요.En: Fish were swimming around the coral.Ko: 그들은 먼저 거북이 수조로 갔습니다.En: They first went to the turtle tank.Ko: 민준은 노트를 꺼내 거북이를 관찰했어요.En: Minjun took out his notebook and observed the turtle.Ko: 그런데 다은의 목소리가 들렸습니다. "거북이는 이렇게 오래 살 수 있대."En: Then he heard Daeun's voice. "I heard turtles can live this long."Ko: 너무 많은 정보를 들은 민준은 점점 혼란스러워졌어요.En: Hearing so much information, Minjun gradually became more confused.Ko: "수진아, 도와주면 안 될까?" 민준은 걱정스러운 목소리로 물었습니다.En: "Sujin, could you help me?" Minjun asked with a worried voice.Ko: 수진은 깊은 숨을 쉬고 대답했습니다. "그래, 도와줄게. 그리고 너도 도와줘."En: Sujin took a deep breath and answered, "Sure, I'll help you. And you help me too."Ko: 둘은 다은과 함께 발표 준비를 했습니다.En: The two, along with Daeun, prepared for the presentation.Ko: 드디어 발표 시간이 되었습니다.En: Finally, it was time for the presentation.Ko: 민준은 무대에 올라섰어요.En: Minjun stood on the stage.Ko: 처음 몇 마디는 떨리는 목소리로 시작했지만, 친구들의 지지와 도움 덕분에 점점 더 자신감이 생겼습니다.En: The first few words started with a trembling voice, but thanks to his friends' support and help, he gradually became more confident.Ko: 수진은 잠시 물고기 옆에 서 있어야 했지만, 친구를 위해 용기를 냈습니다.En: Sujin had to stand next to the fish for a moment, but she mustered her courage for her friend.Ko: 다은의 정보는 발표를 더욱 흥미롭게 만들었습니다.En: Daeun's information made the presentation even more interesting.Ko: 발표가 끝나자 모두 큰 박수를 보냈습니다.En: When the presentation ended, everyone gave a big round of applause.Ko: 민준은 자랑스러웠습니다. 발표를 잘 마쳤기 때문이었어요.En: Minjun felt proud because he had successfully completed the presentation.Ko: 수진은 물고기에 대한 두려움을 잠시 잊었고, 다은은 친구들 사이에서 훨씬 더 편안해졌습니다.En: Sujin temporarily forgot her fear of fish, and Daeun felt much more at ease among her friends.Ko: 그날, 수족관의 물결처럼 아이들의 마음속에도 새로운 변화의 물결이 일었습니다.En: That day, like the waves of the aquarium, a new wave of change arose in the hearts of the children.Ko: 모두가 각자의 두려움을 극복하고, 더욱더 단단한 우정을 쌓았습니다.En: Everyone overcame their own fears and built even stronger friendships.

Here are some strategies you can use:Listen First, Understand the “No”Show genuine curiosity about their perspective. Ask questions, listen without interrupting, and validate their concerns to build trust. Reframe as CollaborationShift the conversation from your request to a shared solution. Position it as: “How can we make this work together?” instead of “Why won't you do this?” Offer Flexible Paths ForwardInstead of pushing for one outcome, propose options or smaller steps. This shows respect for their needs while keeping the door open to agreement.

Most people wait for perfect conditions and call it “planning.” That's just stuck.  In this conversation, Mark Young, an entrepreneur, educator, author, and functional doctor, joins Jim to break the addiction to comfort, reframe failure, and get back to ownership. We hit health, wealth, and work: why public goals matter, why cashflow beats accumulation, and how to use AI as a collaborator (not a crutch). If you're serious about building your Wealth Engine, this one's about action, not consensus. What You'll Learn: Why momentum beats “getting ready to get ready”, and how to act before everything is perfect The real fear behind inaction: public failure and tying your value to others' opinions How “do hard things” compounds in health, business, and wealth—discipline creates predictable outcomes Cashflow > accumulation: stop outsourcing your financial future to Wall Street narratives How to treat AI as a collaborator to upgrade decisions in health and money (without letting your brain atrophy) Action Steps: 1. Own One Hard Thing Today Pick a single uncomfortable action (call the prospect, publish the post, book the consult). Do it before noon. Momentum is a decision. 2. Make It Public Choose one measurable goal and share it with your circle (deadline included). Public commitments kill excuses and create follow-through. 3. Shift from Accumulation to Cashflow Audit your plan: Where does monthly cashflow come from? Map one move to increase it (IBC policy design, a small real-estate cashflow play, or a skill that raises your floor). Mark Young's Final Word: “Curiosity begets curiosity. Ask better questions, do hard things, and use AI as your collaborator. The harder I worked, the luckier I got—and proximity creates opportunity.” Connect with Mark Young: Instagram: www.instagram.com/themarkyoung Website: ryzeagency.com Website II: themarkyoung.com

Have you ever said something like:"I don't want to market myself.""I want to give God the glory, not myself.""I'm writing a book to help others, not puff myself up."Those are all valid concerns. As Christians, we absolutely should give God all the glory and focus on serving others rather than ourselves.But I don't think that means Christian writers aren't supposed to build an author brand.Quite the contrary.I believe it's important to let potential readers get to know you, the author. So in today's episode, I'm especially speaking to those of you who are hesitant to build your author brand. Listen in to discover 3 mindset shifts that will help you become a more confident Christian writer AND marketer.RESOURCESSnag a free copy of Your Path to PublishingEp. 127 - Is Fear of Success Holding You Back? Ep. 125 - Cultivating Your Message: Maximizing Impact without Compromising ValuesEp. 40 - Overcoming Fear as a Writer with Jenn Hand CONNECT WITH DALENEContact - > info@inkandimpact.comPodcast -＞www.inkandimpact.comConnect -＞ Join the free Facebook group Publish Like a ProFB/IG/LI -＞@dalenebickel NEXT STEPSStep 1: Join a supportive community of nonfiction Christian writers at the free Facebook group Publish Like a Pro.Step 2: Get more personalized support through 1:1 book coaching at www.dalenebickel.com/bookworthy-coaching  What additional topics would you like to learn about?Ready to write and self-publish your first nonfiction book and make a kingdom impact?

What if that ‘silly dream' you keep pushing aside is actually pointing you toward your purpose?  In this episode, Jessica and Kelly explore the significance of pursuing dreams and passions, emphasizing that what may seem like a silly dream could be a breadcrumb leading to something greater. They discuss the differences between hobbies, side hustles, and soul work, and how to navigate the fear of failure that often holds people back. The conversation provides practical steps for turning passion into purpose, encouraging listeners to take small, manageable steps towards their dreams while embracing the journey of personal growth. Inside this conversation:  Dreams can lead to greater paths than we realize. Not all passions need to become businesses. Fear of failure often silences our dreams. Every successful person has faced challenges. Courage is more important than confidence. Small steps can create momentum and confidence. Use anxiety as data to inform your decisions. Alignment with values reduces anxiety. Slow growth is still growth. Exploring passions can lead to deeper connections.

This week, I'm joined by Darrell Vesterfelt—VP of Growth at Mighty Networks, founder, and one of the powerhouse panelists at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE!—for a conversation that cuts right to the heart of what business is really about: people.From growing up in a trailer in rural Michigan to scaling creator businesses to millions in revenue, Darrell's story is proof that success doesn't come from fancy degrees or formulas—it comes from empathy, service, and the courage to follow your transformation.In this raw and energizing conversation, we explore the foundations of coaching, entrepreneurship, and building human-centered businesses that actually last. We talk about the fears that stop people from making offers, the truth about niche and ideal clients, and why community is not just nice-to-have—it's the container where transformation actually happens.We dive into: ✨ Why your ideal clients are often just a younger version of you ✨ How to use your own transformation as the foundation for your business ✨ The reframe that makes selling a moral obligation instead of something to fear ✨ Why niche isn't demographics—it's the transition you help people navigate ✨ How to write a “love letter” to your ideal client that instantly clarifies your message ✨ The truth about offers: if you don't love them, no one else will either ✨ Why selling, success, and failure are all neutral—and what that mindset shift unlocks ✨ The role of community in creating lasting transformation (and why you can't do it alone) ✨ What it really means to build a business that's aligned with service, authenticity, and peopleThis episode is an inspiring reminder that no matter what stage of business you're in, it's never about algorithms, vanity metrics, or trying to be “better.” It's about empathy, connection, and being willing to serve.If you've ever struggled with fear of selling, comparison, or “finding your niche,” this one's going to light you up.Interested in learning how to build a $1M community?
